2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
One.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,
if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing
in the spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make
the joy complete by being like minded, having the same love,
(01:00):
being one in spirit and one in mind. Do nothing
out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather in humility
value of others above yours, not looking to your own interests,
but each of you to the interests of the others
(01:24):
in relationships with one another. Have the same mindset as Christ. Jesus, who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with
God something to be used to his own advantage. Rather,
(01:46):
he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of
a servant, being made in human likeness. After being found
in appearance as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient
(02:06):
to death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God exalted
him to the highest place and gave him the name
that is above every name, that name of Jesus. Every
nicha should bow in heaven and on earth and under
(02:30):
the earth, and every tongue acknowledged that Jesus Christ is
Lord to the glory of God the Father. There's some
importance in all this, especially in this time that some
(02:53):
of us is in Western society reveal someone who was
murdered and in their minds he is a martyr, and
we should should as the rest of us, being christ Like,
(03:16):
we should be tolerant enough to allow people to have
that opinion. We all need someone to look up to,
We all need someone to model ourselves after. It is
part of our human life. Believe it or not, it is.
(03:43):
I do say this though, that if you're going to
model yourself after someone, be careful of who it is.
Be careful that they are not singling out an elite
group of people that you should be part of, an
elite group that you should model yourself after strictly an
(04:06):
adhering to every discipline that they provide to you. You see,
Jesus Christ didn't have a model for us to adhere to.
He didn't have a strict regiment that we were supposed
(04:27):
to follow and be obedient to. He didn't have a
whole bunch of rules that we were supposed to follow
in order to follow the morality of the man named
Jesus Christ. He didn't have all that. What he did
(04:50):
have was love in his heart. What he did out
of his own actions were acts of tolerance and compassion.
He acted out of tenderness in empathy, trying to place
his feet inside of another's shoes so he would understand
(05:12):
the pain that they were going through. And for those
of you who don't believe that women should be suppressed,
that people of different race or creed should be suppressed
and narrowed out of mainstream society, and that only one
(05:36):
type of person should be placed at the head of
mainstream society. For those of us who do not believe that,
let them have that thought. It is theirs do not
fall into their traps because their traps lead to division
(05:59):
and separation. Of separation, should I say of us as
a whole people who want to follow in the ways
of Jesus Christ and follow the tolerance that he taught
taught us to love each other, to be like minded
in that love, like minded in that love means that,
(06:25):
my brother, my sister, you have fallen. Let me help
you up. I see, my sibling, that you are going
through a struggle. Let me hold you while you climb.
(06:50):
Let me throw you a lifeline that you can hang
on to while you climb, so that you can make
it through your struggle. You see, the man that was
Jesus Christ, or the man that we called Jesus Christ,
(07:10):
didn't judge. He didn't eliminate people from the crowd. He
invited people in. It was an inclusive environment, not exclusive.
He didn't eliminate anyone from joining in. As he prayed,
as he preached, He didn't eliminate anyone. Right until the
(07:42):
time that he was nailed to that cross. He offered
everyone compassion and love. Father, they know not what.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They do forgive them.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We have sayings that it said that people try to
tag to the man who was Jesus Christ, that you
reap what you sow, and that if you live by
the sword, you shall die by the sword. He didn't
(08:32):
say exactly those things. His words of compassion were, I
you've made mistakes in the past, learn from them and
learn to do better. Learn to be a compassionate human being,
(08:54):
compassionate to all who are around us. It's what his
message it was. He said that violence begets violence. It
isn't lived by the sword, die by the sword. Violence
(09:17):
begets violence. If you offer someone violence, they will respond
to you in a violent way. This proposed hero who
(09:40):
was killed in Utah. He claimed that it was a
statistical happening because we all need to need self defense
and that we all should have guns. He also wouldn't
(10:07):
preach that people like him who looked like him in
the mirror were not violent people. It was the others
who were violent. And we still hear out of many
of his close followers that they're claiming that it was
(10:32):
some the agenda of some political party who wanted him dead.
Why would a political party want him dead? That is
(11:01):
an excellent question. We will leave that question up to
the police investigators. We're not going to go into that.
But what we are going to go into because the
message that he delivered was separatism, It was supremacy of
(11:21):
a single race. It was a lot of things that
promote hatred. Let's not give that hatred back to the
people who are grieving him. Let's offer them our love.
(11:46):
Let's offer them our compassion. One, if it had been
a hero for the proposed other side, you would want
that for your hero, wouldn't you. So you offer that
(12:14):
you would want justice for that person who died, not revenge.
So you offer justice and the hope for justice of
real investigation, of real trial and due process that led
(12:38):
to rehabilitation of that person. I will say this for
the young man who wasn't killed himself, and no I'm
not ever going to say his name because it's not
worth going that far. That there's a tale of two people,
(13:09):
and one person has an opportunity now to be rehabilitated,
to find a better path, a path away from hatred,
and the person who is being buried
One.
Speaker 2 (00:36):

if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing
in the spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make
